Get your Japanese accounts ready!

Bayonetta isn't seeing worldwide release until next year, but Japan will be getting the game in advance on October 29. Lucky for us, even Japan is big on the whole early demo thing. Sega announced today that a demo of the game will hit Japan's PSN and Xbox Live Marketplace next week, providing players over there with an early taste of what they can expect later this month.

We're not just telling this to you to make you feel bad. It's pretty easy for players outside of Japan to access Japanese PSN and Marketplace video game content. We'd suggest doing a few Google searches and getting an account set up in time for the demo's October 8 release.

For multiplatform owners, the 360 demo looks like the way to go here. Both demos will offer tutorial and Angel's Metropolis stages. However, only the 360 version will offer the Falling Clock Tower prologue stage. As anyone who's played the E3 or Tokyo Game Show demos will tell you, the Clock Tower stage, which has Bayonetta fighting angels on a giant clock that's falling through the skies, is a sight to behold.
